2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protege & 2006 mazda rx8 gt
jlagan3@comcast.net - 267.249.3365

Up for sale is my 2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protg, which I will miss severely, but need to sell, as I have recently purchased a Mazda rx-8. This car is a rarity and turns heads everywhere I drive. This particular limited production vehicle is #1857 of 2750, and won the praise of Road & Track Magazine as “the best handling FWD car ever created.” The car has a clean title and carfax. There is currently 77,xxx miles on the car, and was babied, oil changed w/ full synthetic every 3k, and recently had all belts, battery, tires, tranny fluid, and radiator coolant replaced, with receipts to prove. Oh, inspection too. The car has moderate upgrades which have made this sleek and aggressive beauty even more of a blast to drive. The car was purchased stock and I am responsible for all upgrades. I have all stock parts and their inclusion in the sale is negotiable.

I am looking for $9,999 OBO - Throw an offer!!!

I'm very interested in buying. I live in Long Island, Ny. Would you be able to meet me somewhere? Or what's your schedule look like? I'd like to check it out if you don't mind.
 
haha, networking? your better off getting on craigslist and whatever local tuner forums or car clubs are in your area, plus just word of mouth. I would try to take it to a few car meets too. Also, I was fortunate enough to have another car so i had the MSP sitting on one of the busiest intersections in my area, but ultimately the buyer was referred to me by justinlansdale. And there we are back to networking. Good luck with your sale!
 
i'm not worried about it. I'm not tryin to sell, just open to offers. Hopefully my raise comes through, then I'll be set. but thanks!
